About The Goat Ranch

Welcome to The Goat Ranch Lodge — where the wild roams free and the stories are even wilder.

Built on 80 rugged acres once considered “not fit for a goat,” our land has earned its reputation the hard way — and that’s just how we like it. What the locals once joked about has become a place for serious hunters and down-to-earth guests who know that good things aren’t always given— they’re earned.

Our Story

Years ago, this land was seen as too rough, too remote, and too wild to be of much use. Locals used to say, “That place ain't fit for a goat.” So naturally, we turned it into a hunting lodge and named it The Goat Ranch.

What started as an inside joke is now one of the best-kept secrets for hunters, adventurers, and anyone looking to unplug and enjoy the untamed beauty of Nebraska. We've embraced the grit and turned it into something worth talking about — a lodge that’s as honest as the land it stands on.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Hunting Grounds: With 80 acres of expertly managed habitat, diverse wildlife, and wide-open skies, The Goat Ranch offers a genuine hunting experience .

  • Rustic Comfort: Our lodge blends old-school character with modern essentials. Warm beds, good meals, cold drinks, and a fire pit that’s always ready for the next story.

  • Local Flavor: This isn’t a resort — it’s a place where boots get muddy, hands get calloused, and friendships are forged around the fire.

  • Private Events: Looking for a unique place to host a hunt, event, or weekend getaway with your crew? We’ve got the space and the spirit.

Why the Name?

We kept the name as a nod to the land’s past — and to remind ourselves that great places don’t always come easy. The Goat Ranch isn’t fancy, but it’s real. And for those who know the difference, that’s more than enough.

So whether you're here for the hunt, the solitude, or just to prove the locals wrong — welcome to The Goat Ranch Lodge.
